Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 13:912

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Yahya ibn Abi Za'idah narrated to us, from Isra'il, from Tariq ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from Shurayh, he said: I witnessed it, and a man came and said: "I have registered [a claim] against this [man] and against two men with him; whichever of them I wish, I will take my right from." The man said: "Indeed, my companion is in the market." [Shurayh] said: "Take whichever of them you wish."
